Martin Fitzgerald quotes from Without a Trace

Danny

Here's what eighteen hundred gets you in the city.

Martin

Aw, come on, they can't all be this bad.

Danny

You're right--most of the time the bathtub's in the kitchen.

Danny

Somewhere far, far away, Martha Stewart weeps. Looks like our boy Patrick went to the mattresses.

Danny

Hi. Sorry to bother you. We're with the FBI.

Martin

[holding up a photo] Have you seen this man before?

Yes. This is my husband.

Danny

A plane is not supposed to be in the sky. It's not natural.

Martin

Neither was that flight attendant and you weren't afraid of her.

Martin

Look, profiles aren't flawless but they exist for a reason. I mean, come on, we use them everyday.

Samantha

Oh, look, pediatrics. Maybe he's a pedophile too.

Danny

We have a doctor, a man in a wheelchair, a pregnant woman that's not her...a fat guy in a robe, a nurse...

Martin

Is it important that you narrate?

Danny

You know, I'm sorry, I forgot...you can't think and listen at the same time, and...

Martin

That's pretty good for someone who can't think without speaking.

Martin

She's having guy troubles, blows off her job, heads out for a night on the town. And that bar is a major pick up place.

Vivian

How would you know?

Martin

I hear things.

Martin

[Talking about Samantha and Eric Keller] Is there something going on between those two?

Danny

Used to be.

Martin

Really? That's her type, huh?

Danny

Hey, are you jealous?

Martin

Jealous? What, are you crazy?

Danny

Okay. Guess I'm crazy.

Samantha

You think it's easy being surrounded by guys with guns all day?

Martin

I thought you liked guys with guns.

Samantha

I like the guns.

Martin

Samantha...you, uh, you got time to grab a drink?

Samantha

Oh, I've...I--I told Keller I'd meet him. But, I mean, you're welcome to come with us if...

Martin

No, no, that's all right. No, you guys go ahead. Thanks.

Samantha

Okay, well, maybe some other time?

Martin

Yeah, some other time.

Martin

You and, uh, "Delia"--fuzzy boundaries.

Samantha

Well, that's how I like my relationships--nice and complicated.

Martin

I guess love is blind. And deaf. And very, very dumb.

Jack

Spoken like a true romantic.

Martin

What? You going to tell me you still buy into it?

Jack

Sure, marriage, kids, the whole nine yards. [Martin looks skeptical] I didn't say I was good at it. I just said I was a fan.

Martin

Hi, dad.

So how's my boy doing? They giving him a hard time because of his old man?

Jack

I don't know, are we?

Martin

Constantly.

Jack

Didn't even wait for me to say, "Yes, sir."

Martin

He never does.

Martin

Why is it that no one in a walkup ever lives on the first two floors?

Danny

Vampires.

Martin

Really?

Danny

Yeah, they have all the lower apartments all to themselves.

Martin

No direct sunlight, right?

Danny

Exactly. Plus, they live to be 106 years old, so the apartments never turn around.

Martin

Oh, that's good to know.

Vivian

Buying a dream house, talking about starting a family... Doesn't sound like a guy who was planning to run.

Martin

Want to know the part I heard? This guy felt trapped by his life and he wanted a clean start.

You sound pretty convinced.

Martin

Just speaking from experience.
